Sunshine Coasters
Design by Marie Segares/Underground Crafter.
These sunshine coasters are worked up in a yellow to resemble the sun. They feature a beautifully scalloped edge for the sun’s rays. However, you can just as easy crochet them up in any other colors to match your dining room décor.
Make these simple, textured coasters as a set, or gift them individually as mug rugs.
